From Overthinking to Aligned Leadership: Nichola’s Journey Through The Empowered Manager Women’s Programme

When Nichola joined my Empowered Manager Women’s Programme (previously called the Career Clarity and Confidence programme), she thought she just needed a nudge to stop overthinking social media. But what unfolded was so much more powerful—a complete transformation in how she leads, makes decisions, and shows up in her work life.

The Challenge Before: Nichola came to coaching with what seemed like a straightforward challenge: “I just need to stop overthinking everything.” In particular, she struggled with showing up online—second-guessing every post, every idea, every move.

But as we dug deeper, she realised that the overthinking was just the surface symptom. What was really at play? A sneaky, well-disguised form of imposter syndrome that was quietly sabotaging her confidence—not just in how she marketed her business, but in how she led it.

"Before we started working together, I felt like I was constantly in motion but never really moving forward. I was stuck in a cycle of reacting to what the business needed, but never feeling like I had the space or clarity to make intentional, aligned decisions."

The Transformation: Through our sessions, Nichola stopped running on autopilot and started making decisions from a place of alignment. She built a stronger, more trusting relationship with herself. She began to act with confidence—not just speak about it.

“I’ve completed things I’ve been overthinking for over a year. I don’t wobble like I used to. There’s a deeper trust in myself now.”

Nichola redefined her offers, planned with long-term vision, and had the tough conversations she’d been avoiding. She stepped into leadership—not from fear, but from focus.

The Impact: This wasn’t just a mindset makeover. It was a full-scale work reset.

“This work has helped me take big, foundational steps in my business... You held space for both the strategy and the emotion. You called me out on my crap—but gracefully.”

And that, friends, is exactly what this programme is built for. Strategy with soul. Confidence with compassion. Growth without the burnout.

Nichola will be continuing her journey with me—and I couldn’t be more proud of the powerful, grounded woman she is as a result.
